Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]3\frac {6}{25} hrs \ or \ 3 hrs\ 14 mins \ 24 sec[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question calls requires one to get the product of the given time. Since first debate lasted for :

[tex]1\frac {4}{5} \ hrs[/tex]

-and the second lasted

[tex]1\frac {4}{5} hrs[/tex] times more than the first then the second took then the first step will involve converting the mixed fractions into improper fraction which will be:

[tex]\frac {9}{5}[/tex]

-Now multiplying

[tex]\frac {9}{5}\times\frac{9}{5}\\\\=\frac{81}{25}=3\frac{6}{25}[/tex]hrs
